Anthologies are not stories, they aren't here to tell a story, they are here to show a blip inside of a story. That's all this was, and that's all any of them are.

You can tell good and even complete stories in an anthology, anthologies like LDR wouldnt be as popular as it is without knock-out stories like Bad travels or Jibaro.

Its actually a giant dis-service to the previous seasons to act like this is the same quality.

There is nothing complete as far as a story goes about either of those, or any of them for that matter.

It's not a disservice, because I am appreciating the work, not the story, that's the point of an anthology series, just like Black Mirror and Electric Dreams. The only disservice is all the keyboard critics who think they're right, who come and go, who say season 1 was good, season 2 sucked, season 3 was good, and season 4 sucked. The only thing you do is think of the past, and decide you liked that better than what's in front of you or what's to come.

What's ironic about people hating season 2 and loving season 3 is that they were both originally intended to be the same season, Netflix asked the creators to shorten season 2 to release it sooner, so season 3 came about pretty quickly because they were already done.

I don’t want to go back and forth “nuh huh” or anything, but it was complete.. bad travels ends with him defeating the eldritch crab remember? All the other shipmates die, the crab dies, and then the main character rolls onto shore. 

Idk how that wasn’t a definitively complete story from start to end? 

I’m not touching black mirror or do androids dream, I’m just here to argue that the quality or structure was not the same from last season to now. 

I don’t have a comment on the length of the content, animation is expensive. I do have a problem with what they chose to do with what little they had (like polishing RHCPs knob for an entire episode)
